Middle Tennessee State University AYS: Energy, Earth and Civilization

该项目旨在提高学生的知识和应用，态度和信仰，以及参与科学和数学。 MTSU领导一个合作伙伴关系，为150名5-8年级的学生提供超过150小时的科学和数学校外学习体验。 合作伙伴包括探索中心、冒险中心、荒野站和商会的商业教育伙伴关系，以支持来自默弗里斯伯勒市、卢瑟福县和坎农县的两所中学和三所小学的学生。 校外学习发生在学年期间的“中子俱乐部”和商业社区课堂连接（BC 3）夏令营。 学习活动旨在支持科学和数学的田纳西州标准。 24名教师参加了该项目，并接受了60个小时的专业发展。 该项目为女孩建立了与“拓展你的视野”的联系，为父母建立了与“父母积极联系环境”的联系。 该项目正在通过评估该方案对学生和教师的影响，对其教育模式和基本理论框架的有效性进行研究。

This project seeks to improve student knowledge and application, attitudes and beliefs, and engagement in science and mathematics. MTSU leads a partnership to provide 150 grade 5-8 students with over 150 hours of out-of-school learning experiences in science and mathematics. Partners include the Discovery Center, the Adventure Center, the Wilderness Station and the Business Education Partnership of the Chamber of Commerce, in support of students from two middle schools and three elementary schools from the city of Murfreesboro and Rutherford and Cannon Counties. The out-of-school learning occurs during the academic year in "Club Neutron" and in the Business Community Classroom Connection (BC3) summer camps. The learning activities are designed to support the Tennessee State standards in science and mathematics. Twenty-four teachers are participating and are receiving 60 hours of professional development from the project. The project has established links to "Expanding Your Horizons" for girls, and to "Parents Actively Connecting Environments (PACE)" for parents. The project is conducting research on the validity of its educational model and underlying theoretical framework by evaluating the effects of the program on the students and teachers.
